With a long-enough connection T3-T5 connection there's a school of thought on FT that it can be worth it to clear immigration in order to use the AA Arrivals lounge over the BA Galleries facilities in T5.

I've never heard anyone suggest transferring to T5 (with a LHR-terminating journey arriving T3) just to use the BA airside lounges. And as they are airside, if your journey terminates at LHR, I don't think you'd physically have access anyway.

Thanks for the clarification--after reading again I see the OP is connecting.

Makes sense. Yes LHR is my final stop. I see it's right after the customs hall up the elevator. Question--my mother is picking me up at LHR. Do you think they will allow her in with me? If they don't I understand but if they don't I'm not going to go if I have to have her wait while I shower!
